They are retirees and INSS pensioners who will see a big surprise this June as the government starts returning money from improper deductions in their benefits. After the early payment of the thirteenth salary, the government will refund almost three billion reais taken by unions and allied entities that charged without authorization. More than six million people will see missing amounts returned to their accounts. Some groups will get automatic deposits: those over eighty, indigenous communities, and quilombola communities. For others, the official deadline to request a refund is June twentieth. The process runs through the Meu INSS site, a help line, or Correios offices. They should pull their benefit statement and contest any charge they did not authorize. The agency has fifteen business days to prove consent. If there is no proof, the money is released in a few days. The government has added a security check to stop new charges after a complaint, but daily vigilance remains the best defense.
